Richard Stallman*Fossil fuel firms may have to pay for climate damage under proposed UN tax.* There is no chance they could afford to reimburse all the damage they are doing, but the tax might help save all of us if it pressures them to reduce the damage.
Brokar@rms At least one country will never agree to this: USA. Back in the day it didn't sign Kyoto either. That's because it still heavily depends on fossil fuels and the profits which come with it.
And I wonder how much fuel was wasted because of the Iran war alone which lead to nothing but death.
Also, nobody ever asked if BP paid up in full for the damage the explosion of Deep Water Horizon caused, which they promised. So what makes the UN think that the oil companies are going to pay now?
